As of 11 a.m., Mr. still hadn't been visited by a neurosurgeon. His surgical team think he's healing really well and showing no signs of infection, but he needs a neurosurgeon to say that before they'll consider releasing him from the hospital. The suspense is gnawing at me. It's the difference between his coming home in a day or two versus more surgery and a couple weeks in the hospital. He looks good, sounds good, is eating well, and feels pretty well considering what he's been through, but we just don't have the final word yet. I appreciate all your prayers ... looks like they're being heard ... please send up a few more, if you will. I'll be visiting him again after work.
